As a leader of a forlorn hope in Manitoba, Sir James Aikins has not added to his reputation. His politi- | cal friends may admire his courage | in taking hold of A discredited party ; in Manitoba and trying to save it from extermination. But the péo- ple of Manitoba plainly resented his methods, : Sir James is a fine man,'but he has never been accused of being a leader of men. As a corporation lawyer he won success. As a specu- lator in days when wealth was easily gathered in the West, he was a sue- cess, As a smooth, pleasant figure at a Methodist Conference he was' charming, As a man who would fight for the public and go down to defeat for a principle, if necessary' he had no record whatever, As a leader he was an unfortunate choice, because he had few of the qualifies which make for leadership.' | Sir James broke into politics late in life--too late to make any im- n at Ottawa, where he has for same years.

The Laurier Government went | down to defeat on a big issue of its | own thoosing---a new and advanced policy, which the country at the polls | refused to accept.

The - letter "Bill" Nickle reads in part as fol- lows: "Jack' Mills and I sleep together and eat together so you can see that there is no ill-feeling between the Frontenacs and K.

When we finally got to the wharf where the boat was, it was 10 o'clock, and we were soaked. Go- ing across the channel it was very rough and nearly everybody was sea- sick.

Assure there will be no necessity for raising rates.
